Style Guide

 

1.

Papers may be written in Euskera and Spanish and must be submitted in a Word .doc 6.0 or higher. Chapter titles and authors SHOULD NOT BE IN ALL CAPS. Capitalize names and chapter titles as per the normal conventions of the language that you are writing in.

 

 

2.

Document formatting. The files will be formatted as follows:

 

 

 

  • Size 8.5 X 11 paper in portrait orientation. normal margins on all edges (1 inch on all sides)

  • All pages must be numbered except the first.

  • The total length of work should not exceed 480,000 characters with spaces, typed double spaced, including tables, figures, notes and References.

  • The style and font size will be "Times New Roman" 12 point.

  • Figures and tables should be included with the text.

  • If a figure or table is a reproduction from another book, it must include its source. If a figure is created by  the author, it is implied.

  • Only figures and tables from another source must be cited, there is no need for "Elaboración del autor."

  • All figures and tables must be able to edit. A figure that is in Spanish and is a Word "picture" (i.e., cannot be edited and must be created from scratch in English) is likely to be removed from the final book.

 

 

3.

Page identifying the author(s). This page should contain only the title, name of author, affiliation, and a contact address including at least email, phone and fax contact of at least one of the authors. This address will be used in communications from the editors of the volume.

 

 

4.

The text for the content of the work must begin on a new page. Neither titles nor paragraph headers should have bleeds. The use of "etc.," "i.e." and "e.g." should be avoided in the text.

 

 

5.

Document styles. The text will be organized into sections of first and second order. The first order will be identified in bold, the second order in italics.

 

 

 

Example:


Heading Level 1
Text text text ... ....
 
Heading level 2
Text text text ... ....
 
 

6.

An author-date method of citation (in parentheses) will be used. The original version of a work or article should be used, even if it has been translated to another language. If the citation or main idea makes reference to a central theme, a page number should also be cited. If necessary a footnote may be added to develop an idea.
